20 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: obtaining first information of an optical module readable partition, wherein the first information indicates a first partition; modifying, when the first partition is different from a second partition that stores link negotiation information in an optical module and when a recorded quantity of optical module link negotiation information obtaining times has not reached a preset threshold, the first information into modified information indicating the second partition to make the second partition an updated optical module readable partition; obtaining second information of the updated optical module readable partition; and obtaining optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is the same as the second partition.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adding 1 to the recorded quantity before obtaining the second information.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining, before obtaining the second information, third information of the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the third information indicates the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition, and wherein the recorded quantity has not reached the preset threshold.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising skipping obtaining the optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition and when the recorded quantity has reached the preset threshold.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: attempting to reobtain the first information; and adding 1 to the recorded quantity when failing to reobtain the first information and when the recorded quantity has not reached the preset threshold.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising re-attempting to obtain the first information when failing to obtain the first information.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the optical module link negotiation information comprises a connector type, a photoelectric parameter, multi-mode indication information or single-mode indication information, a voltage, and a transmit offset.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising further obtaining the first information by obtaining content corresponding to a page select byte control byte of the optical module.

9

9. A control device comprising: an optical module; and a control chip configured to: obtain first information of an optical module readable partition, wherein the first information indicates a first partition; modify, when the first partition is different from a second partition that stores link negotiation information in the optical module and when a recorded quantity of optical module link negotiation information obtaining times has not reached a preset threshold, the first information into modified information indicating the second partition to make the second partition an updated optical module readable partition; obtain second information of the updated optical module readable partition; and obtain optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is the same as the second partition.

10

10. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to add 1 to the recorded quantity before obtaining the second information.

11

11. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to obtain, before obtaining the second information, third information of the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the third information indicates the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition, and wherein the recorded quantity has not reached the preset threshold.

12

12. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to skip obtaining the optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition and when the recorded quantity has reached the preset threshold.

13

13. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to: attempt to re-obtain the first information; and add 1 to the recorded quantity when failing to reobtain the first information and when the recorded quantity has not reached the preset threshold.

14

14. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to: re-obtain the first information of the optical module readable partition when the first information of the optical module readable partition fails to be obtained.

15

15. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the optical module link negotiation information comprises a connector type, a photoelectric parameter, multi-mode indication information or single-mode indication information, a voltage, and a transmit offset.

16

16. The control device of claim 9 , wherein the control chip is further configured to obtain the first information by obtaining content corresponding to a page select byte control byte of the optical module.

17

17. A storage system comprising: a storage device; and a control device configured to: obtain first information of an optical module readable partition, wherein the first information indicates a first partition; modify, when the first partition is different from a second partition that stores link negotiation information in an optical module and when a recorded quantity of optical module link negotiation information obtaining times has not reached a preset threshold, the first information into modified information indicating the second partition to make the second partition an updated optical module readable partition; obtain second information of the updated optical module readable partition; and obtain optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is the same as the second partition.

18

18. The storage system of claim 17 , wherein the control device is further configured to add 1 to the recorded quantity before obtaining the second information.

19

19. The storage system of claim 17 , wherein the control device is further configured to obtain, before obtaining the second information, third information of the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the third information indicates the updated optical module readable partition, wherein the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition, and wherein the recorded quantity has not reached the preset threshold.

20

20. The storage system of claim 17 , wherein the control device is further configured to skip obtaining the optical module link negotiation information when the updated optical module readable partition is different from the second partition and when the recorded quantity has reached the preset threshold.
